"Find the truth, be the change!"

About 76 percent of the price of gasoline is a reflection of world prices. The rest is taxes, refinery costs, producers' and sellers' profit margins -- and regulations that drive up prices. Is there a way to cut down on cost? Yes. We can start by removing barriers that make it difficult to deliver 50 kinds of boutique fuel blends between markets.

Natural gas

Natural gas is a naturally occurring hydrocarbongas mixture consisting primarily of methane, but commonly including varying amounts of other higher alkanes, and sometimes a small percentage of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and/or hydrogen sulfide. It is formed when layers of decomposing plant and animal matter are exposed to intense heat and pressure supplied by existing under the surface over millions of years. The energy that the plants originally obtained from the sun is stored in the form of chemical bonds in the gas.

Natural gas is found in deep underground rock formations or associated with other hydrocarbon reservoirs in coal beds and as methane clathrates. Petroleum is another resource and fossil fuel found in close proximity to, and with natural gas. Most natural gas was created over time by two mechanisms: biogenic and thermogenic. Biogenic gas is created by methanogenic organisms in marshes, bogs, landfills, and shallow sediments. Deeper in the earth, at greater temperature and pressure, thermogenic gas is created from buried organic material.

Gas

Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, liquid, and plasma). A pure gas may be made up of individual atoms (e.g. a noble gas like neon), elemental molecules made from one type of atom (e.g. oxygen), or compound molecules made from a variety of atoms (e.g. carbon dioxide). A gas mixture would contain a variety of pure gases much like the air. What distinguishes a gas from liquids and solids is the vast separation of the individual gas particles. This separation usually makes a colorless gas invisible to the human observer. The interaction of gas particles in the presence of electric and gravitational fields are considered negligible as indicated by the constant velocity vectors in the image. One type of commonly known gas is steam.

The gaseous state of matter is found between the liquid and plasma states, the latter of which provides the upper temperature boundary for gases. Bounding the lower end of the temperature scale lie degenerative quantum gases which are gaining increasing attention. High-density atomic gases super cooled to incredibly low temperatures are classified by their statistical behavior as either a Bose gas or a Fermi gas. For a comprehensive listing of these exotic states of matter see list of states of matter.

Demand

In economics, demand is the utility for a good or service of an economic agent, relative to his/her income. (Note: This distinguishes "demand" from "quantity demanded", where demand is a listing or graphing of quantity demanded at each possible price. In contrast to demand, quantity demanded is the exact quantity demanded at a certain price. Changing the actual price will change the quantity demanded, but it will not change the demand, because demand is a listing of quantities that would be bought at various prices, not just the actual price.)

Demand is a buyer's willingness and ability to pay a price for a specific quantity of a good or service. Demand refers to how much (quantity) of a product or service is desired by buyers at various prices. The quantity demanded is the amount of a product people are willing or able to buy at a certain price; the relationship between price and quantity demanded is known as the demand. (see also supply and demand). The term demand signifies the ability or the willingness to buy a particular commodity at a given point of time, ceteris paribus. Utility preferences and choices underlying demand can be represented as functions of cost, benefit, odds and other variables.

Khan Academy

Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization created in 2006 by educator Salman Khan with the aim of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere. The organization produces short lectures in the form of YouTube videos. In addition to micro lectures, the organization's website features practice exercises and tools for educators. All resources are available for free to anyone around the world. The main language of the website is English, but the content is also available in other languages.

In late 2004, Khan began tutoring his cousin Nadia who needed help with math using Yahoo!'s Doodle notepad.When other relatives and friends sought similar help, he decided that it would be more practical to distribute the tutorials on YouTube. The videos' popularity and the testimonials of appreciative students prompted Khan to quit his job in finance as a hedge fund analyst at Connective Capital Management in 2009, and focus on the tutorials (then released under the moniker "Khan Academy") full-time.

Graphical representation of supply and demand

Although it is normal to regard the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied as functions of the price of the goods, the standard graphical representation, usually attributed to Alfred Marshall, has price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis, the opposite of the standard convention for the representation of a mathematical function.

Since determinants of supply and demand other than the price of the goods in question are not explicitly represented in the supply-demand diagram, changes in the values of these variables are represented by moving the supply and demand curves (often described as "shifts" in the curves). By contrast, responses to changes in the price of the good are represented as movements along unchanged supply and demand curves.

China is the world's top energy consumer and coal user, projected to use more coal in the coming years than the rest of the world combined. China also holds the dubious honor as the biggest greenhouse-gas emitter.
But China also owns the world's largest renewable energy system. All part of it's push to diversify it's energy supply and keep it's environment clean.
CNBC learns that China has invested too much in coal power to abandon it just yet, so how long before China is able to get away from fossil fuels? CNBC investigates.

Gas Prices, Gas Gouging, Peak Oil, Elasticity, Supply Demand

Gasoline gas prices are based on oil prices. Oil prices are determined by the oil supply and oil demand. Right now, both oil supply and oil demand are almost inelastic. As gasoline gas and oil prices go up, the demand stays almost the same. As the oil supply reaches peak oil or maximum production or extraction, the demand curve becomes vertical, or inelastic. The inelasticity of the oil supply and oil demand set things up for price volatility of both oil and gasoline. The seasonal changes in gas and oil prices we've seen in the last three years is probably due to reaching peak oil. This short screencast shows an inelastic oil supply curve, as well as an inelastic oil demand curve, and what happens to prices as the oil supply or oil demand change.

China is the world's top energy consumer and coal user, projected to use more coal in the coming years than the rest of the world combined. China also holds the dubious honor as the biggest greenhouse-gas emitter.
But China also owns the world's largest renewable energy system. All part of it's push to diversify it's energy supply and keep it's environment clean.
CNBC learns that China has invested too much in coal power to abandon it just yet, so how long before China is able to get away from fossil fuels? CNBC investigates.

Gasoline gas prices are based on oil prices. Oil prices are determined by the oil supply and oil demand. Right now, both oil supply and oil demand are almost inelastic. As gasoline gas and oil prices go up, the demand stays almost the same. As the oil supply reaches peak oil or maximum production or extraction, the demand curve becomes vertical, or inelastic. The inelasticity of the oil supply and oil demand set things up for price volatility of both oil and gasoline. The seasonal changes in gas and oil prices we've seen in the last three years is probably due to reaching peak oil. This short screencast shows an inelastic oil supply curve, as well as an inelastic oil demand curve, and what happens to prices as the oil supply or oil demand change.

Investigating Africa's drive to secure future oil & gas demand

Natural resources are at the heart of Africa's growth story. And as the continent moves closer to reaching its economic potential, it's becoming a major resources consumer in its own right. In this special report, CNBC Africa investigates Africa's drive to secure its future oil and gas demand.
We examine the economic case for building the refineries Africa will need to fuel the next decades of growth as well as the roadblocks which stand in its way.

In the 19th century, natural gas was usually obtained as a by-product of producing oil, since the small, light gas carbon chains came out of solution as the extracted fluids underwent pressure reduction from the reservoir to the surface, similar to uncapping a bottle of soda where the carbon dioxide effervesces. Unwanted natural gas was a disposal problem in the active oil fields. If there was not a market for natural gas near the wellhead it was virtually valueless since it had to be piped to the end user.
In the 19th century and early 20th century, such unwanted gas was usually burned off at oil fields. Today, unwanted gas (or stranded gas without a market) associated with oil extraction often is returned to the reservoir with 'injection' wells while awaiting a possible future market or...

The price for premium gas blends is as much as 15 cents more per litre than regular gas. Gas companies make the pitch that premium's better for your car. While it's true that some car makers recommend putting premium fuel in their high-end models, what about most of us who drive regular cars?

The Geopolitics of Energy

Energy and politics are inextricably linked—and shape each other. From the Industrial Revolution to the US shale gas revolution, the dynamics of energy supply and demand have played a pivotal role in global economics and security. And in an increasingly connected world, the geopolitics of energy will likely become even more complex. How would US energy independence impact American foreign policy in the Middle East and beyond? What effect would trade wars or environmental degradation have on energy markets? Might renewable energy or new technologies shift the international balance of power? Join the Council on GlobalAffairs for a conversation on the geopolitical dimensions of global energy markets.

U.S. Unconventional Gas Resources: A Reassessment of Supply/Demand Potential

The CSISEnergy and National SecurityProgram hosts a reassessment of gas supply and demand prospects and a discussion of the path forward. More efficient drilling, new technologies, and a deeper geological understanding have not only increased access to domestic gas resources but have also allowed for the development of an updated profile of the resource itself. The rapidly evolving nature of U.S. unconventional gas development has rendered resource estimates made only a few years ago already out of date. At the same time, opportunities for new demand growth have increased. Yet challenges to realizing the full potential of this resource remain.
In order to present a variety of insights into the evolving supply and demand picture, the CSIS Energy Program hosts a diverse panel of both publ...

Dan Steffens: Low Oil Prices Stimulating Demand

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, oil expert Dan Steffens of the Energy Prospectus Group https://www.energyprospectus.com/
Dan has over 30 years of experience working in the oil and gas industry.
During this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks Dan about OPEC and the oil cartel's power over the oil market?
Dan says OPEC more specifically the Saudis has tried to intentionally bankrupt shale oil companies to gain market share but that OPEC is hurting financially now with these low oil prices.
Dan thinks OPEC may cut production in the near future.
Next, Jason asks Dan why M&A hasn't occurred in oil exploration and production companies?

In the 19th century, natural gas was usually obtained as a by-product of producing oil, since the small, light gas carbon chains came out of solution as the extracted fluids underwent pressure reduction from the reservoir to the surface, similar to uncapping a bottle of soda where the carbon dioxide effervesces. Unwanted natural gas was a disposal problem in the active oil fields. If there was not a market for natural gas near the wellhead it was virtually valueless since it had to be piped to the end user.
In the 19th century and early 20th century, such unwanted gas was usually burned off at oil fields. Today, unwanted gas (or stranded gas without a market) associated with oil extraction often is returned to the reservoir with 'injection' wells while awaiting a possible future market or to repressurize the formation, which can enhance extraction rates from other wells. In regions with a high natural gas demand (such as the US), pipelines are constructed when it is economically feasible to transport gas from a wellsite to an end consumer.
In addition to transporting gas via pipelines for use in power generation, other end uses for natural gas include export as liquefied natural gas (LNG) or conversion of natural gas into other liquid products via gas-to-liquids (GTL) technologies. GTL technologies can convert natural gas into liquids products such as gasoline, diesel or jet fuel. A variety of GTL technologies have been developed, including Fischer-Tropsch (F-T), methanol to gasoline (MTG) and STG+. F-T produces a synthetic crude that can be further refined into finished products, while MTG can produce synthetic gasoline from natural gas. STG+ can produce drop-in gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and aromatic chemicals directly from natural gas via a single-loop process.[9] In 2011, Royal Dutch Shell’s 140,000 barrel per day F-T plant went into operation in Qatar.
Natural gas can be "associated" (found in oil fields), or "non-associated" (isolated in natural gas fields), and is also found in coal beds (as coalbed methane).[10] It sometimes contains a significant amount of ethane, propane, butane, and pentane—heavier hydrocarbons removed for commercial use prior to the methane being sold as a consumer fuel or chemical plant feedstock. Non-hydrocarbons such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium (rarely), and hydrogen sulfide must also be removed before the natural gas can be transported.[11]
Natural gas extracted from oil wells is called casinghead gas or associated gas. The natural gas industry is extracting an increasing quantity of gas from challenging resource types: sour gas, tight gas, shale gas, and coalbed methane.
There is some disagreement on which country has the largest proven gas reserves. Sources that consider that Russia has by far the largest proven reserves include the US CIA (47.6 trillion cubic meters),[12] the US Energy Information Administration (47.8 tcm),[13] and OPEC (48.7 tcm).[14] However, BP credits Russia with only 32.9 tcm,[15] which would place it in second place, slightly behind Iran (33.1 to 33.8 tcm, depending on the source). With Gazprom, Russia is frequently the world's largest natural gas extractor. Major proven resources (in billion cubic meters) are world 187,300 (2013), Iran 33,600 (2013), Russia 32,900 (2013), Qatar 25,100 (2013), Turkmenistan 17,500 (2013) and the United States 8,500 (2013).
It is estimated that there are about 900 trillion cubic meters of "unconventional" gas such as shale gas, of which 180 trillion may be recoverable.[16] In turn, many studies from MIT, Black & Veatch and the DOE predict that natural gas will account for a larger portion of electricity generation and heat in the future.[17]
The world's largest gas field is the offshore South Pars / North Dome Gas-Condensate field, shared between Iran and Qatar. It is estimated to have 51 trillion cubic meters of natural gas and 50 billion barrels of natural gas condensates.
Because natural gas is not a pure product, as the reservoir pressure drops when non-associated gas is extracted from a field under supercritical (pressure/temperature) conditions, the higher molecular weight components may partially condense upon isothermic depressurizing—an effect called retrograde condensation. The liquid thus formed may get trapped as the pores of the gas reservoir get depleted. One method to deal with this problem is to re-inject dried gas free of condensate to maintain the underground pressure and to allow re-evaporation and extraction of condensates. More frequently, the liquid condenses at the surface, and one of the tasks of the gas plant is to collect this condensate. The resulting liquid is called natural gas liquid (NGL) and has commercial value.

It's a discovery that could easily shake up the geopolitical order in the Middle East. Deep under the eastern Mediterranean lies the largest natural gas basin ever found on Europe's doorstep. But the gas fields often coincide with disputed borders between rival nations. Our reporter Marine Pradel investigated this lucrative resource, which everyone wants a piece of.
The billions of cubic metres of natural gas discovered in recent years off Israel, Egypt and Cyprus form what is now called the "Levantine Basin", the largest natural gas reservoir within easy reach of Europe.
The first major deposit, known as Tamar, was discovered in 2009 off the coast of Haifa, Israel, by a consortium made up of Noble Energy (US) and Delek-Avner (Israel). Other gas fields were later discovered in the same zone of the "Levantine Basin": Leviathan (Israel), Aphrodite (Cyprus), but most importantly Zohr, in 2015 off the coast of Egypt: the largest gas field ever discovered in the Mediterranean, larger than all the others combined. It was found by the Italian oil giant ENI, which has already started to exploit it and is aiming to start production by the end of 2017.
Meanwhile, Israel, supported by its US ally, is drilling away, driven by a free-market and idealistic vision: exploiting the gas will oblige the countries of the region to co-operate as business partners, which will in turn create peace and stability.
But the gas under the Mediterranean Sea may also carry within it the seeds of new conflicts. On the divided island of Cyprus, it threatens reunification efforts. In Lebanon, its location - straddling the disputed maritime boundary with Israel - boosts the belligerent rhetoric of the armed Hezbollah group.
It is hoped the gas could be worth billions of dollars, and all eyes are on the highly coveted European gas market, which Russia would like to keep for itself.
Speaking to FRANCE 24 in Washington, the US Special Envoy and Coordinator for InternationalEnergyAffairs summarised the situation. “All of a sudden, it’s not just a bunch of fishermen that care about those waters. Suddenly, there’s billions and billions of dollars”, he explained. The stakes are certainly high. In total, nearly 3,500 billion cubic metres of natural gas could lie under the eastern Mediterranean, according to a study by the US Geological Survey.
From Egypt to Syria via Lebanon, Israel and Cyprus, our reporter investigated this precious resource, a double-edged sword that awakens old Cold War reflexes and could well upset the geopolitical order of an already unstable region.

Speaking to FRANCE 24 in Washington, the US Special Envoy and Coordinator for InternationalEnergyAffairs summarised the situation. “All of a sudden, it’s not just a bunch of fishermen that care about those waters. Suddenly, there’s billions and billions of dollars”, he explained. The stakes are certainly high. In total, nearly 3,500 billion cubic metres of natural gas could lie under the eastern Mediterranean, according to a study by the US Geological Survey.
From Egypt to Syria via Lebanon, Israel and Cyprus, our reporter investigated this precious resource, a double-edged sword that awakens old Cold War reflexes and could well upset the geopolitical order of an already unstable region.

The price for premium gas blends is as much as 15 cents more per litre than regular gas. Gas companies make the pitch that premium's better for your car. While it's true that some car makers recommend putting premium fuel in their high-end models, what about most of us who drive regular cars?

Energy and politics are inextricably linked—and shape each other. From the Industrial Revolution to the US shale gas revolution, the dynamics of energy supply and demand have played a pivotal role in global economics and security. And in an increasingly connected world, the geopolitics of energy will likely become even more complex. How would US energy independence impact American foreign policy in the Middle East and beyond? What effect would trade wars or environmental degradation have on energy markets? Might renewable energy or new technologies shift the international balance of power? Join the Council on GlobalAffairs for a conversation on the geopolitical dimensions of global energy markets.

Lecture Abstract:
This lecture will address a multi-fidelity modeling strategy to facilitate data-enabled design of combustion devices for propulsion engines. As a specific example, the issue of combustion instability (unsteady flow motions in combustion chambers) will be discussed. An interdisciplinary research program is under way, focused on the development of an efficient and robust capability to understand, analyze, and predict combustion dynamics in contemporary and future propulsion systems. This effort involves work in supercritical combustion, combustion instability, reduced-basis modeling (emulation), statistics, uncertainty quantification, and machine learning. Recent breakthroughs in modeling and data analytics techniques have been utilized to substantially improve the modeling capabilities at all levels. New techniques address issues specific to physics extraction and design evaluation of complex systems, such as rocket and gas turbine engines. This research will enable effective and efficient (practical time-scale) surveys of all known parameters, including design attributes and operating conditions, and their effects on system stability behavior. The integrated approach described here starts with large eddy simulation (LES)-based high fidelity modeling and simulations of combustion dynamics in engines. Reduced-basis models and emulation then leverage the database established by the LES for physics-based data assimilation. Stochastic-based extraction of physics from complex flowfields provides faithful and interpretable representations of the underlying mechanisms. Feature extraction techniques are incorporated into a spatio-temporal surrogate model built on machine-learning techniques such as Gaussian process (GP) regression. Combined with statistical methodologies and control theories, these techniques allow for an efficient survey of flow evolution and combustion dynamics, with special attention to the identification of combustion response and gasdynamic driving mechanisms. Data-driven quantification of the transfer function between the identified mechanisms is achieved. Finally, a system-level model is developed for effective and efficient assessment of the combustion stability behaviors of a practical system, with complex geometry over a broad range of operating conditions.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, oil expert Dan Steffens of the Energy Prospectus Group https://www.energyprospectus.com/
Dan has over 30 years of experience working in the oil and gas industry.
During this 30+ minute interview, Jason asks Dan about OPEC and the oil cartel's power over the oil market?
Dan says OPEC more specifically the Saudis has tried to intentionally bankrupt shale oil companies to gain market share but that OPEC is hurting financially now with these low oil prices.
Dan thinks OPEC may cut production in the near future.
Next, Jason asks Dan why M&A hasn't occurred in oil exploration and production companies?
Dan expects that to occur in the near future after oil prices start to rise.
Jason and Dan discuss the supply/demand fundamentals of oil. Dan says 25 times the amount of real oil is traded daily in paper oil. (Does this remind you of gold and silver futures markets?)
Jason asks about potential dividend cuts from Chevron, ExxonMobil, etc. Dan doesn't think they will cut the dividend.
To wrap up the interview, Jason asks Dan about the natural gas and the LNG markets as well as what types of oil companies are safe investments.

MASSIVE Drop In Gas Demand Is Triggering Carmageddon! - What You Need To Know

Josh Sigurdson talks with author and economic analyst JohnSneisen about the recent drastic drop in gas demand as people decide simply to stay home and not drive. Many are calling this "carmageddon" and it's taking a massive toll on the markets.
This follows the crazy car derivatives market continuing to grow in size and scope with auto backed securities being issued.
As John says, the demand for borrowing money was skyrocketing through the roof and they were pushing all these loans so the banks could make more money. Now we've hit the peak and it's going down hill fast.
When the derivatives are issued, that's one of the final signs of a massive bubble ready to burst. They're trying to squeeze the last pennies out of these investments.
During the peak driving season when people are on vacation, the gas demand is down 6% in the United States.
New record high levels on the stock exchanges (the Trump euphoria) is a large part of this too. The price earnings ratios are at record highs. Trump can only on a minor scale fix the markets. He cannot change the markets entirely or the monetary system. The downfall was in route far before he was president. Unless he's going to end the Federal Reserve or cut every single regulation and tax and just end the state, this calamity is going to happen. It's not Trump's fault, but it's also something that Trump simply can't solve.
Bubbles are inflating from all angles and it's time to start taking serious notice or else face the consequences.
Stay tuned for more from WAM!

"Find the truth, be the change!"

Supply and demand: What really drives the price of gas?

About 76 percent of the price of gasoline is a reflection of world prices. The rest is taxes, refinery costs, producers' and sellers' profit margins -- and regulations that drive up prices. Is there a way to cut down on cost? Yes. We can start by removing barriers that make it difficult to deliver 50 kinds of boutique fuel blends between markets.

Greenpeace's Charlie Kronick says companies are providing investors with flawed assessments about the development of green technologies and possibly of government intervention in climate change

Investigating Africa's drive to secure future oil & gas demand

Natural resources are at the heart of Africa's growth story. And as the continent moves closer to reaching its economic potential, it's becoming a major resources consumer in its own right. In this special report, CNBC Africa investigates Africa's drive to secure its future oil and gas demand.
We examine the economic case for building the refineries Africa will need to fuel the next decades of growth as well as the roadblocks which stand in its way.

In the 19th century, natural gas was usually obtained as a by-product of producing oil, since the small, light gas carbon chains came out of solution as the extracted fluids underwent pressure reduction from the reservoir to the surface, similar to uncapping a bottle of soda where the carbon dioxide effervesces. Unwanted natural gas was a disposal problem in the active oil fields. If there was not a market for natural gas near the wellhead it was virtually valueless since it had to be piped to the end user.
In the 19th century and early 20th century, such unwanted gas was usually burned off at oil fields. Today, unwanted gas (or stranded gas without a market) associated with oil extraction often is returned to the reservoir with 'injection' wells while awaiting a possible future market or to repressurize the formation, which can enhance extraction rates from other wells. In regions with a high natural gas demand (such as the US), pipelines are constructed when it is economically feasible to transport gas from a wellsite to an end consumer.
In addition to transporting gas via pipelines for use in power generation, other end uses for natural gas include export as liquefied natural gas (LNG) or conversion of natural gas into other liquid products via gas-to-liquids (GTL) technologies. GTL technologies can convert natural gas into liquids products such as gasoline, diesel or jet fuel. A variety of GTL technologies have been developed, including Fischer-Tropsch (F-T), methanol to gasoline (MTG) and STG+. F-T produces a synthetic crude that can be further refined into finished products, while MTG can produce synthetic gasoline from natural gas. STG+ can produce drop-in gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and aromatic chemicals directly from natural gas via a single-loop process.[9] In 2011, Royal Dutch Shell’s 140,000 barrel per day F-T plant went into operation in Qatar.
Natural gas can be "associated" (found in oil fields), or "non-associated" (isolated in natural gas fields), and is also found in coal beds (as coalbed methane).[10] It sometimes contains a significant amount of ethane, propane, butane, and pentane—heavier hydrocarbons removed for commercial use prior to the methane being sold as a consumer fuel or chemical plant feedstock. Non-hydrocarbons such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium (rarely), and hydrogen sulfide must also be removed before the natural gas can be transported.[11]
Natural gas extracted from oil wells is called casinghead gas or associated gas. The natural gas industry is extracting an increasing quantity of gas from challenging resource types: sour gas, tight gas, shale gas, and coalbed methane.
There is some disagreement on which country has the largest proven gas reserves. Sources that consider that Russia has by far the largest proven reserves include the US CIA (47.6 trillion cubic meters),[12] the US Energy Information Administration (47.8 tcm),[13] and OPEC (48.7 tcm).[14] However, BP credits Russia with only 32.9 tcm,[15] which would place it in second place, slightly behind Iran (33.1 to 33.8 tcm, depending on the source). With Gazprom, Russia is frequently the world's largest natural gas extractor. Major proven resources (in billion cubic meters) are world 187,300 (2013), Iran 33,600 (2013), Russia 32,900 (2013), Qatar 25,100 (2013), Turkmenistan 17,500 (2013) and the United States 8,500 (2013).
It is estimated that there are about 900 trillion cubic meters of "unconventional" gas such as shale gas, of which 180 trillion may be recoverable.[16] In turn, many studies from MIT, Black & Veatch and the DOE predict that natural gas will account for a larger portion of electricity generation and heat in the future.[17]
The world's largest gas field is the offshore South Pars / North Dome Gas-Condensate field, shared between Iran and Qatar. It is estimated to have 51 trillion cubic meters of natural gas and 50 billion barrels of natural gas condensates.
Because natural gas is not a pure product, as the reservoir pressure drops when non-associated gas is extracted from a field under supercritical (pressure/temperature) conditions, the higher molecular weight components may partially condense upon isothermic depressurizing—an effect called retrograde condensation. The liquid thus formed may get trapped as the pores of the gas reservoir get depleted. One method to deal with this problem is to re-inject dried gas free of condensate to maintain the underground pressure and to allow re-evaporation and extraction of condensates. More frequently, the liquid condenses at the surface, and one of the tasks of the gas plant is to collect this condensate. The resulting liquid is called natural gas liquid (NGL) and has commercial value.

How natural gas could be a geopolitical game-changer in the Mideast

It's a discovery that could easily shake up the geopolitical order in the Middle East. Deep under the eastern Mediterranean lies the largest natural gas basin ever found on Europe's doorstep. But the gas fields often coincide with disputed borders between rival nations. Our reporter Marine Pradel investigated this lucrative resource, which everyone wants a piece of.
The billions of cubic metres of natural gas discovered in recent years off Israel, Egypt and Cyprus form what is now called the "Levantine Basin", the largest natural gas reservoir within easy reach of Europe.
The first major deposit, known as Tamar, was discovered in 2009 off the coast of Haifa, Israel, by a consortium made up of Noble Energy (US) and Delek-Avner (Israel). Other gas fields were later discovered in the same zone of the "Levantine Basin": Leviathan (Israel), Aphrodite (Cyprus), but most importantly Zohr, in 2015 off the coast of Egypt: the largest gas field ever discovered in the Mediterranean, larger than all the others combined. It was found by the Italian oil giant ENI, which has already started to exploit it and is aiming to start production by the end of 2017.
Meanwhile, Israel, supported by its US ally, is drilling away, driven by a free-market and idealistic vision: exploiting the gas will oblige the countries of the region to co-operate as business partners, which will in turn create peace and stability.
But the gas under the Mediterranean Sea may also carry within it the seeds of new conflicts. On the divided island of Cyprus, it threatens reunification efforts. In Lebanon, its location - straddling the disputed maritime boundary with Israel - boosts the belligerent rhetoric of the armed Hezbollah group.
It is hoped the gas could be worth billions of dollars, and all eyes are on the highly coveted European gas market, which Russia would like to keep for itself.
Speaking to FRANCE 24 in Washington, the US Special Envoy and Coordinator for InternationalEnergyAffairs summarised the situation. “All of a sudden, it’s not just a bunch of fishermen that care about those waters. Suddenly, there’s billions and billions of dollars”, he explained. The stakes are certainly high. In total, nearly 3,500 billion cubic metres of natural gas could lie under the eastern Mediterranean, according to a study by the US Geological Survey.
From Egypt to Syria via Lebanon, Israel and Cyprus, our reporter investigated this precious resource, a double-edged sword that awakens old Cold War reflexes and could well upset the geopolitical order of an already unstable region.

The Geopolitics of Energy

Energy and politics are inextricably linked—and shape each other. From the Industrial Revolution to the US shale gas revolution, the dynamics of energy supply and demand have played a pivotal role in global economics and security. And in an increasingly connected world, the geopolitics of energy will likely become even more complex. How would US energy independence impact American foreign policy in the Middle East and beyond? What effect would trade wars or environmental degradation have on energy markets? Might renewable energy or new technologies shift the international balance of power? Join the Council on GlobalAffairs for a conversation on the geopolitical dimensions of global energy markets.

Lecture Abstract:
This lecture will address a multi-fidelity modeling strategy to facilitate data-enabled design of combustion devices for propulsion engines. As a specific example, the issue of combustion instability (unsteady flow motions in combustion chambers) will be discussed. An interdisciplinary research program is under way, focused on the development of an efficient and robust capability to understand, analyze, and predict combustion dynamics in contemporary and future propulsion systems. This effort involves work in supercritical combustion, combustion instability, reduced-basis modeling (emulation), statistics, uncertainty quantification, and machine learning. Recent breakthroughs in modeling and data analytics techniques have been utilized to substantially improve the modeling capabilities at all levels. New techniques address issues specific to physics extraction and design evaluation of complex systems, such as rocket and gas turbine engines. This research will enable effective and efficient (practical time-scale) surveys of all known parameters, including design attributes and operating conditions, and their effects on system stability behavior. The integrated approach described here starts with large eddy simulation (LES)-based high fidelity modeling and simulations of combustion dynamics in engines. Reduced-basis models and emulation then leverage the database established by the LES for physics-based data assimilation. Stochastic-based extraction of physics from complex flowfields provides faithful and interpretable representations of the underlying mechanisms. Feature extraction techniques are incorporated into a spatio-temporal surrogate model built on machine-learning techniques such as Gaussian process (GP) regression. Combined with statistical methodologies and control theories, these techniques allow for an efficient survey of flow evolution and combustion dynamics, with special attention to the identification of combustion response and gasdynamic driving mechanisms. Data-driven quantification of the transfer function between the identified mechanisms is achieved. Finally, a system-level model is developed for effective and efficient assessment of the combustion stability behaviors of a practical system, with complex geometry over a broad range of operating conditions.
